One thing that no one knows about me is: I have a fabulous sense of humor.
Now the hard one. Tell us what we need to know...50 years in the space below:
I was a Spanish teacher in the Kings Park School District for 33 years, & the FL Chair for most of that time. I single handedly saved the FL program from a budget cut by rallying the community. While licensed as a Principal & Superintendent, I had no desire to take on those positions. Mr. Marocco would be stunned that I taught Spanish.
Finally, if you had to do it all over again, I would...Do exactly what I did and not change a thing. I have had an extremely successful career.
